There is nothing magical in them at all. The magic is only in what books say, how they stitched the patches of the universe together into one garment for us.

I often wonder if God recognizes His own son the way we've dressed him up, or is it dressed him down?

The zipper displaces the button and a man lacks just that much time to think while dressing at dawn, a philosophical hour, and thus a melancholy hour.

But you can't make people listen. They have to come round in their own time, wondering what happened and why the world blew up around them. It can't last.

Don't ask for guarantees. And don't look to be saved in any one thing, person, machine, or library. Do your own bit of saving, and if you drown, at least die knowing you were heading for shore.

The good writers touch life often. The mediocre ones run a quick hand over her. The bad ones rape her and leave her for the flies.

It doesn't matter what you do...so long as you change something from the way it was before you touched it into something that's like you after you take your hands away.

It didn't come from the Government down. There was no dictum, no declaration, no censorship, to start with, no! Technology, mass exploitation, and minority pressure carried the trick, thank God.

I just want someone to hear what I have to say. And maybe if I talk long enough, it’ll make sense.

Digression is the soul of wit. Take the philosophic asides away from Dante, Milton or Hamlet's father's ghost and what stays is dry bones.

Even though your life is Rainy and muggy you can fight through it just Make sure you know what is happening And make sure you don't take to much pressure on it just shake it off!

If you don't understand it, it's art.

Faith is confident trust in God and the salvation He provides in His Son Jesus Christ.

Honestly, I don't feel pressure to live up to anything I've done because I tend to not listen to my work once a year passes.

I was in film before I was on stage. I started acting when I was like 12. But, no, I think my mother indoctrinated me very early.

A miserable, self-destructive, death rocker...better to burn out than to fade away.

Alas! the praise given to the ear Ne'er was nor ne'er can be sincere.

In my day artists wanted to be outcasts, pariahs. Now they are all integrated into society

I love talk and I love fishing. I'm having a ball.

There is no real philosophy until the mind turns around and examines itself.
